Pg 794 "HISTORY OF PAGE COUNTY -1890 [REF:#4]
EDWARD MONZINGO is a well known and highly esteemed citizen of Page
County, and is numbered among the pioneers of Colfax Township, having
settled there in April, 1857. He was born in Clark County, Indiana,
July 22, 1820, and is a son of Thomas Monzingo, a native of Virginia
and a wheelwright by trade. The mother's maiden name was Mary Gray
and she was born in South Carolina. The parents of Edward Monzingo
came to Clark County, Indiana, in their youth, aud were married there
about 1820. They reared a family of eight children. Edward was brought
up on a farm, assisting his father in the various branches of
agriculture and attending the common schools.

In September, 1847, he was married to Miss Jenette Johnson. She was
a native of South Carolina, and in her childhood she was brought
to Ohio, where she grew to womanhood; she was the daughter of
James and Sarah Johnson.

Edward Monzingo remained in Clark County, Indiana, until 1857,
when he emigrated, to Page County, Iowa, and took up Government
land far from civilization; markets, Churches, and schools were
at great distance, but he is now in the heart of one of the most
highly cultivated portions of iowa, with four towns and three
railroads in sight of his own home; he has a neat, frame dwelling,
a good, bearing orchard, and excellent improvements throughout.

By his first marriage five cilldren were born, three of whom still
survive:
May Adaline, wife of Solomon McCulley;
John Thomas, and
Sarah D., wife of Sylvester Rodgers;
Maggie, wife of James McKee, died September 10, 1878,
leaving an infant son.

Mrs. Jenette Johnson Monzingo died January 24, 1859. She was a
faithful Christian and was an active member of the Reformed
Presbyterian Church.

December 11, 1860, Edward Monzingo married Elizabeth Drace,
of Lincoln Township, a daughter of Henry and Mary E. (Fedler)
Drace, natives of Germany.

By this union ten children have been born:
Rhoda Ann,
Lincoln Henry,
Emma Catherine,
Alice Cora,
James Frank,
Fred Ellsworth,
Edward,
Olive May, and
Almeda and
Ellen, deceased in infancy.

Politically our subject is a Republican as far as general
principles are concerned, but of late he has voted the
Prohibition ticket. He and his wife are members of the United
Presbyterian Church. The children have all received a good
education; two daughters, Rhoda A. and Emma C., are teachers.

Edward Monzingo is the only one of eleven original members
of the United Presbyterian Church in Page County which was
organized at an early day. He is a man frank and candid of
manner, and has lived a life of such strict integrity that
he has won a large circle of friends.
